MEXICO - QUETZALCOATL. God and legendary ruler of the Toltecs in Mexico. From a copy of the Mixtec Codex Borbonicus, c1500 A. D
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an ancient depiction of Quetzalcoatl, the revered god and legendary ruler of the Toltecs in Mexico. The image is taken from a copy of the Mixtec Codex Borbonicus, dating back to around 1500 A. D. In this artwork, Quetzalcoatl is portrayed wearing an elaborate feathered head dress that signifies his divine status. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of indigenous Mexican civilizations. The presence of a serpent wrapped around Quetzalcoatl's body symbolizes his close association with this sacred creature in Mesoamerican folklore. This representation reflects both reverence for nature as well as beliefs surrounding creation and wisdom. As we gaze upon this painting, we are transported back in time to witness the awe-inspiring mythology that shaped Latin American history. It serves as a testament to the deep spiritual connection between humans and their gods during ancient times. This remarkable piece belongs to Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection at The Granger Collection in New York City. Through its preservation and display, it allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also gain insights into pre-Columbian cultures that continue to influence contemporary Mexican society today.
